-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've been having A persistant problem that is reproducable in linux systems and windows systems in vmware workstation 4 and 3.2.1.
The problem occurs when a number of writes are attempted on the scsi disk (the vmware virtual hard disk). After many failures with a windows install, I tried it with the gentoo live-cd, I found i could partion sda, however when I attempted a dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sda, In both vmware 3.2.1 and vmware 4 I get the following entries in the log file: <backtrace after signal 7> Aug 28 02:34:05: vmx| VMX IPC closed the connection with thread scsi0:1 (0x8224e8c) Aug 28 02:34:05: vmx| AIO: Unexpected loss of IPC to channel scsi0:1 (thread scsi0:1) Aug 28 02:34:05: vmx| AIO: Unexpected loss of channel scsi0:1 (thread scsi0:1) <more backtrace stuff from the stack> Aug 28 02:34:05: vmx| Msg_Post: Error Aug 28 02:34:05: vmx| [msg.log.vmxpanic] VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vmx) Aug 28 02:34:05: vmx| AIO: Unexpected loss of channel scsi0:1 (thread scsi0:1) Aug 28 02:34:05: vmx| Please request support and include the contents of the log file: "/mnt/hdb1/vmware-guest-os/win2k/vmware.log".

Aug 28 02:34:05: vmx| ---------------------------------------- I'm wondering if there is anything in particular a given gentoo installation needs (using the gentoo-sources kernel) that could cause this? Or is it simply a bug that is destin for bugs.gentoo.org? Thanks Steve - - -- ***************************************************************************** * Stephen Clowater Youth.
